Dear TIM members,
We are happy to announce that the 4th Conference for Global Innovation and IP (https://giip.info/events/cmhodus7h000z7d217d8hh2f4

Global competition is increasingly defined by rivalry for technological leadership, where firm performance and institutional strength are closely intertwined. Across sectors such as healthcare, AI, and electric vehicles, firms navigate fast-changing environments shaped by active state involvement. Thus, the coordination and competition among public and private actors across nations will shape the future trajectories of the global markets.
It is in this context that we invite your participation in GIIP in Beijing, May 16-17, 2026. The conference is hosted by Guanghua School of Management, Peking University, and co-sponsored by the McDonnell International Scholars Academy at WashU, Guanghua School of Management, the Boeing Center for Supply Chain Innovation at WashU, the Institute of International Business and Management, the Institute of Strategic Research at Peking University, and the WashU Olin Business School.
Please follow the steps outlined in the registration page. (The updated program is linked in Step 2.) Note that the registration deadline is May 6, 2026, or when we reach capacity (100 members).
Hope to see you in Beijing!
Best,
Minyuan
